Comic for Wednesday, January 27th

Well, Miko made it through a whole page without calling something weird. Weird.

It’s a tricky page because at the end of the day we know very little about Miko and, for that matter, Mium so far. It boggles my mind how we can be 200 pages in already sometimes! But fortunately now we know a little bit more about them!

We saw a long time ago when Miko used the override function to give Mium the server; modifying an override function is normally (for obvious reasons) out of reach of an SMAI (self modifying artificial intelligence). How Mium did that, well, that’s a spoiler for another day.

I think Miko and Naomi have something in common even if Miko would deny it vehemently… they are the only two people crazy enough to think an SMAI is their friend. One could include Peter there, but his not really anyone’s measuring stick of sanity, now is he?

Discussion (6) ¬

You know, this just brought up a thought: How is Peter getting the money to pay for all this? Coding work on the side, stock investment or some mysterious (to us, Peter probably would know exactly who they are) backer?

“You’re supposed to be MY friend.” Since Miko didn’t create either M. Y. M. or the F8 chassis, I’m assuming that there’s been a protocol added by Miko or Peter to that effect, which Mium is ignoring because Peter is
doing much more interesting things. ^^

Miko’s perception of Mium is slightly… strange. Miko is working with a computer the vast majority of the time, and thus ‘talks’ to Mium pretty much constantly.

You know, reading that I went back to see if I’d used a pronoun on Miko, but it appears I haven’t. Hahahaha, can’t start now… 😉 To be fair, with my art such things are fairly ambiguous at the best of times! 😛 It’ll be solved when I get around to updating the cast page at least!

Miko is a good bit older then Ila, but not necessarily in attitude or height… 😉 I’m aware not necessarily in looks either, but that’s only about half intentional 😛

As for the voting incentive… I couldn’t quite think of what to draw for Ila, but sometimes an idea just jumps forward and seems too appropriate… 😉
